FINAL: Toronto Raptors vs Boston Celtics - 105-96
John E. Sokolowski-USA TODAY SportsThe Toronto Raptors were finally home tonight after what seemed like months but was actually only eleven days. Finally back home, they set their sights on avoided slipping into a four game losing streak.
In their way? The Boston Celtics.
The injury bug has also continued to affect the Raptors, with Gary Trent Jr (flu-like symptoms) and Gradey Dick (thumb) both ruled out prior to the game. They joined Poeltl and Otto Porter Jr on the injury lineup.
With that in mind, the Raptors started their usual four starters plus Jontay Porter (the two-way). This marks Porter’s first career start and only the third time the Raptors have started a two-way player.
